This film's biggest problem is that, it acts like it's so much smarter than the average Rom-Com with its characters spouting off vulgar, snide, if somewhat clever quips about the hassles and entanglements of modern sexual courtship. Yet you know where it's heading the whole time and never for a second expect to go any other way. Some people like that kind of predictability and certainty in their films and outside of horror, there isn't really any other genre that clings to predictability and contrivance like the romantic comedy does. This film follows the formula to a tee then calls it stupid and naive in the same breath, a tricky proposition. The leads are decent, and the supporting cast (Woody Harrelson playing a gay sports editor and Patricia Clarkson as Kunis flaky mom) are very funny. Nothing you haven't seen before but I guess that's the whole idea.
